Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. WAKEMAN, Jr., ofy the city and county of New York, and State of Ne York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Paint-Burning Lamps; and do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.

My apparatus is constructed so as to project the dame of any inflammable fluid horizontally, or nearly so, upon any painted surface. i

I will first describe the construction of my apparatus, and will afterwards designate the points Vwhich I believe to be new. y

Figure 1 represents alongitudinal vertical section on the line x w, and a side elevation from a: to m in fig. 2.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the apparatus.

A is a reservoir ofcopper or other metal, having a bottom,- B, and sides C, here represented as a hemisphere, securely fastened together. A neck, D, communicates withthe reservoir A. E is astopper in the neck D. F is a pipe, which passes through' the upper portion of the reservoir A, and terminates inside with an expanded mouth, Gr, to prevent the alcohol from i'lowing in when the apparatus is tilted. The lower end of the pipe F passes through the wall H of the apparatus, and terminates in a small open end, I, centrally located. H is a cylindrical wall, and is virtually a continuation ofthe sides C of the reservoir A. This wall is extended sufficiently below the bottom of the reservoir A to receive the lamp L, which passes through, and, by means of pins, rests upon, the flange J, attached to the walls H.y A portion of the wall H is cut away atM to allow a free passage for the Haine from' the pipe at I. K is avhandle. L is an independent lamp, furnished with a tube, W, for a wicl. This tube unscrews to allow the lamp to be filled. N are legs for the apparatus to rest upon.

Operation.

The reservoir A is nearly filled with alcohol through the neck D, which is then securely corked by the stoppervE or its equivalent. The lamp L is then filled, a wick inserted and lighted. The flame from the lamp L 'strikes upon the bottom B of the kreservoir A, and, heating the alcohol therein contained, raises a vapor, which, rushing out violently through the pipe F, is ignited by means of the iiame from the lamp L, and thus projects a stream of ame, which'may be thrown in any direction desired.

I will now state the great advantages which this vapparatus possesses: first, in the' simplicity of the mode of' construction; second, in the removal ofall danger from tire caused by the accidental upsetting of the apparatus; third, in shielding the ame more elfectually from the wind; fourth, in the instant suspension of the flame by removing the lamp L; fifth, in the increased capacity and lengthened yduration of the action of the apparatus; sixth, in the absolute protection to the mouth of the pipe I and the lamp iiame L from the paint scrapings; seventh, in its increased usefulness consequent upon the greater angle at which the dame 'can be thrown; it will even burn paint oii` the iioor.

, Having now fully describedvmy invention, what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. The reservoir A, placed over the lamp L, substantially and for the purposes herein set forth. 2. The expanded mouth Gr of the pipe F, or its equivalent, substantially as herein described. i 3. The independent lamp L, operating substantially as and for the purpose herein specified.
